So who is always on the list Thomas Dolby – “She Blinded Me With Science” as if “Hyperactive”, ‘One of Our Submariens”, “Airheads” and “My Brain is like A Sieve” weren’t huge radio and club hits. And as someone who spent the late 80′s early 90′s on the radio, I can attest that they were.

Then there is Haircut 100 (“Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl) #4 UK, Love Plus One #3 UK), The Tom Tom Club (at least two massive hits with “Genius Of Love” and Wordy Rappinghood”), Soft Cell (Tainted Love, Sex Dwarf), Shannon 9Who they always list “Let The Music Play” but with the every 4 years release of “Give Me Tonight” which was huge back when it came out. is clearly a bigger hit, Frankie Goes to Hollywood (They always list ‘Relax”, but what about ‘Two Tribes” and “Welcome to the Pleasuredome”?), and one of the biggest crimes ALISON MOYET of Yazoo? They always list ‘Invisable” forgetting massive hits like “Love Resurrection”, “Weak in the Presence of Beauty”, “Ordinary Girl”, “Whispering Your Name”, “It Won’t Be Long”, “Is This Love?” and the hits she is still turning out.

So who makes up these lists? And do these people not realize that the US or The UK is not the end all and be all of an artists career. Nena “99 Luftbaloons” is considered one of the top One Hit Wonders. But in her country of Germanym she’s had 8 #1 hits and more than 20 singles in 25 years. There needs to be some consitency.

Any idea if the original is available digitally anywhere?
